Custom Tissue Packet Printing in Singapore
Anyone who’s lived in Singapore knows the tissue packet. It’s used to chope tables at hawker centres, and most of us keep one in a pocket or bag before heading out. That habit is exactly what makes it such a cheap, effective advertising tool — your brand goes everywhere your customers go.
A custom-printed packet puts your company name, logo, or promotion straight into people’s hands. Flyers get tossed. Tissues get kept and used, and every time someone reaches for one, they see your branding again.
Why Tissue Packet Marketing Works Here
It’s been a marketing channel in Singapore for decades, and the reasons are simple:
- Almost nobody says no — people happily take a free tissue, whereas flyers often get waved away or binned on the spot
- It sticks around — a packet lives in a bag or on a desk for days, sometimes weeks, so your branding gets seen again and again
- It fits the local habit — when someone uses your packet to chope a seat at a hawker centre, it sits on the table in full view of everyone nearby
- Easy to hand out anywhere — they’re light and compact, so they work at MRT stations, roadshows, events, and letterbox drops
- Cheap per impression — order in bulk and the cost per person reached is a fraction of digital ads or print flyers
Tissue Options
Ply count:
- 2-ply — standard thickness, soft and functional. The usual pick for promotional packets where cost and volume matter most.
- 3-ply — thicker and softer, with a more upmarket feel. Go for this when you want recipients to link your brand with quality.
Sheets per packet:
- 8 sheets — standard count, keeps the packet slim. Most popular for mass distribution at roadshows, events, and letterbox campaigns.
- 10 sheets — a slightly fuller packet that reads as more generous. Good for corporate events, hotel amenities, and premium campaigns.
Print Area & Packaging
We print your artwork on the outer wrapper at a print size of 12.0 × 30.6cm. That covers the front and back panels plus the side flaps, so there’s plenty of room for your logo, message, contact details, a QR code, or a promotional offer.
The wrapper is your canvas. Most brands put the main logo and campaign message on the front, then use the back for contact details, social handles, or a QR code pointing to their website or promo.

Design tip: Keep your key message and logo on the front — that’s what people see first. Put supporting info on the back, like a QR code, website URL, phone number, or social handles. High-contrast colours read best, since a packet is small and usually glanced at quickly.
